Congrats to Darion. Way to break the generational curse. Marriage is a wonderful thing. In addition to effectively conveying messages, using proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation when texting is a great opportunity to practice for when it's called for. Ignoring lame videos is an appropriate response but is less likely to cause change than responding with a thumbs down or other more-active response. Writing requests and leaving them to be found is pathetic. Texting is more reasonable. Talking face-to-face is best. Get to know your neighbors. Be neighborly. Be the change that your community needs.

Savon I agree with you about future not being all that but you not fucking with March Madness is unamerican

I thought I was gonna say smell, but y’all convinced me to take sound.. Anyone who I invite into my home to chill is welcome to my refrigerator. It actually makes me feel good to see my friends and family so comfortable in my home. I was just having a conversation about how wedges have been made between myself, and other parent friends bc of their parenting style, and how I’ve witnessed that with other women as well. You can be bestfriends with someone, and see them in a completely different light once they become parents. Example, a close friend I had since 13. We used to 🍃 together. We got pregnant for the first time at the same time. I stopped while pregnant, she did not. Then after we had our kids, she would invite me to 🍃 and I’d say “no I don’t have a sitter”, she would say “that’s ok my kid is here”, and even make jokes about the baby having a contact. Yeah nope. Congrats on 100 episodes! 🎉 #MontgomeryBrawl #FadeintheWater

I love that the black community is holding onto the Fade in the Water event and not letting us forget about it. I prefer to call it the Battle of Montgomery. The logic behind Savon's preference for dipping is solid. Couldn't agree more. I agree with both of your takes on bad sounds being more tolerable than bad smells. I don't have company frequently enough to care about controlling access to my fridge. If you're worthy of being a guest in my home, you're welcome to whatever you find in my fridge. One time when my parents were visiting, my mom went upstairs to use the bathroom up there rather than the unoccupied bathroom downstairs. That was weird. "Let this nigga experience childhood" is hilarious. Kids are developing vices way to early these days.

The increasingly disturbing symbolism of the Olympic opening and closing ceremonies has been enough to diminish any desire I had to watch the Olympics to nothing. I've gone through phases of being okay with drinking milk and being adverse to drinking milk and have settled in a place where I can and will drink milk but typically don't. Respect to all the milk drinkers out there though. No respect for skim milk drinkers though. I don't drink milk often, but when I do, I want it WHOLE. Y'all have a great perspective on littering. It's still a major problem that very few people care enough to do something about. Have y'all seen the off-ramp from I-77 southbound to Copley Road? Disgusting. Privacy screen protectors are highly sus. I lose respect for anyone who uses one. And they tend to have the same effect on me as tinted windows; makes me want to look harder to see what you're hiding.

"Im delusional" LMAOOOO that was really asf

Respectfully a knife is a Flathead Screwdriver, Phillips Head Screwdriver and for the ones who know… it opens locked doors😭

I also thought that making the bed daily was a waste of time... until I began making the bed daily. There are many reasons to do it, and they all seem to be valid. For me, it's an easy daily practice of self-discipline that helps keep the bedroom, and effectively the rest of the house, tidy. I couldn't care less about the temperature of my pillows, but I definitely need a pillow to put between my knees if I turn to my side, you know, for ideal spinal alignment. That knee pillow happens to be the same pillow that, when I'm sleeping on my back, I hug to my chest and cover part of my face with. I do it too Darion! I have a two-compartment sink. When I wash the dishes, I prefer to put all of the dirty dishes in one side, wash as many dishes as I can before the second side is too full to wash any more without dirtying up the already-washed dishes, rinse those, then repeat until complete. I approve of the practice of taking some of the dishes out and putting them on the counter. I'll even leave lightly soiled dishes on the counter before washing, but my wife gets angry when I do that. In an effort to reduce the amount of breakable, maintenance-requiring machines in my home, I have opted to not get a dishwasher. It's more satisfying to clean dishes by hand anyways, and more consistent. And hand washing dishes provides a time to slow down and spend some time in your head, meditating, reflecting, planning. Saving disposable plastic cups is... interesting. Not quite comparable to saving disposable plastic tubs for leftovers. I hate drinking from plastic cups and eating from paper plates. Give me the real stuff. Glass and ceramic please. I, like Savon, also used to have family silverware with our last initial on it, and I miss it a lot. Someday I'll be able to afford that for my own household. I prefer small, dainty forks and small spoons. My dad always insists on eating with a big fork, and I have always viewed it as him compensating for something, but perhaps he just has a preference for heftier utensils. I don't like having to open my mouth wider to fit bigger spoons, so small spoons for me. According to my understanding of table etiquette, big forks are for salads/appetizers* and main courses, little forks are for dessert, big spoons are an abomination (they're for serving, not eating with), small/normal-sized spoons are for most situations, and rounder soup spoons are for soup. Respect to that fella for asking for his friend's permission to date, and later marry, his sister. Although I agree that it's kind of silly to ask anyone permission to do anything that they don't have the authority to deny. I think it's hilarious that mom has less interest in visiting because the AC is too damn cold. I feel it mom. I feel it.

Saving fast food cups is wild

The act of asking a father for his blessing in marriage comes from ancient Rome. Typically, the man would gift the father a gold coin to “buy” the daughter, since at the time they were viewed as the father’s property. Ultimately, the decision was solely up to the brides father, and not the bride.

It was Scooby doo

I love how proliferant fireworks have become since Ohio legalized them and Akron loosened up some rules about them. Hearing what sounds like artillery being fired from the next street over just makes me chuckle. Savon is for sure on to something about black people not determining what constitutes black entertainment. There's an interesting conspiracy theory about [people who wear small hats] using their media influence to manipulate the black community so as to keep them in a perpetual state of generational trauma, victim mentality, and financial dependence, among other things. Slavery in America never ended, it just looks different than it used to. There is however, a dangerous paradox associated with this theory. That is, if you believe it, then you believe in an ongoing oppressor/oppressed struggle and may be more susceptible to a victim mentality. The solution, regardless of who you think is behind the manipulation, is for each of us to personally lift, from our own mind, the vail of deception, uncover and understand the truth, and take deliberate action to control our own fate. I think this topic warrants further discussion, but this comments section is not the proper forum for that discussion. I've never seen Black Panther, but it sounds like its message applies to a wider audience than just black folks, so I'm going to take the recommendation and give it a watch!

Good ep today. However, I do have one question. There was a segment where you guys were going back and forth about the BET awards, and if it truly reflects black culture. I believe one of you made the claim that the ass shaking / dancing isn’t a true depiction of black culture. Does it bother you, or could understand how it could bother someone else, that one of the most prominent nights in black milestones in entertainment displays how other cultures / races tend to perceive (per the videos words) the African American community instead of truthfully displaying what black culture is?

Thanks for the shoutout fellas. I appreciate your appreciation of my appreciation of this podcast, and whatever else you appreciate about me. I feel the love. Everything mentioned that scream "look at me" to you do the same to me... except the new Broncos! I think that the mix of classic and modern styling has been a great departure from the ubiquitous, characterless styling of most other modern SUVs and crossovers. I love the use of straight lines. I love the round headlights and the boxy taillights. I love the focus on functionality and utility. I love the option for a manual transmission. I love the proportions of the shorter wheelbase 2-door version *chef's kiss*. The popularity of these cars is not at all surprising to me. Some things that scream "look at me" by definition: posting selfies and acting flamboyant. Some additional things that scream "look at me" to me: impractically large houses, perfectly manicured lawns, exotic car colors, large and lifted trucks, intentionally loud guns, belly button piercings, super long nails, leggings with butt scrunches, expensive sunglasses, and fat watches. No disrespect intended. I think we can recognize that many of these things are attractive in some way: imagine a tattooed girl with stacked ear piercings, peaky short shorts, and a belly button piercing exposed by a lacy crop top steps out of the driver seat of an exotic car and puts her Ray Bans up in her purple hair... daaaang. Naming cars is fun. We have Roxanne, a little red Bimmer, and Linda, a black Jeep Patriot. Littering is crazy, one of the scummiest acts one could commit.

Drake placed a 300K bet on Canada to beat Argentina in the copa America semi final last night. After Argentina won 2-0, the official Argentinian men’s national team account posted a picture of the team with the caption saying “not like us” on Twitter. Bro how do you get cooked by an entire country and go on with life??

😂

Ranch on ribs is so disrespectful, but honey on homemade pizza is amazing. My side of the family is very specific with the drinks. Diet, and regular coke, sprite and the little hugs.. dassit lol How is this episode not titled “somethin about them white sauces”

I expect lemonade and/or iced tea, and beer at a cookout. I stopped shopping at Dick's when they took a stance against the Second Amendment. I too am surprised that they're still in business. Fuck their blimp. "Do other places blimp it up?" was a great question. Turns out that Goodyear has 3 of only 5 active blimps in the US, so it's fair to say that Akron is one of very few places that be still be blimpin'. Everyone has a phone now, even the poorest among us, so no one cares to steal phones anymore. The cellular carriers' business model is garbage. Just buy whatever phone you want, unlocked, online. Activate it yourself. No BS car salesman antics. No contracts. Switch carriers anytime. Holding your pee until you get home is worth it 9 times out of 10.

If the bathroom has 3 urinals, the maximum capacity is 2… men strategically space out in there so we don’t have to converse with each other. Just let me urinate in peace, bro.

Why

😂😂😂😂

He tweaking. Mystikal was cold as hell

Bro. Music has never been as vile and nasty as it is today. I had to stop my kids from watching rap videos becasue the language is outrageous. Dont get me wrong. I been listening to Wayne for 20 years probably. And hes nasty. But bruh....the 2000s? Nah. That was tame

You forgot vanilla gorilla so everybody who sees this comment you can say it

OUTSTANDING BY THE GAP BAND. You can just chill to that song. You don't have jump up to dance. That song sets the tone and mood of the cookout.

Frank Beverly and maze Before I let you go Beyoncé remixed it too

outstanding clears, not even close!!

OUTSTANDING FOR SURE

🫶🏼

Hear me out. Swgangin and bangin-esg.

Wait till yall find out that yall enslaved every culture of people before they got some of yall for a couple hundred years

If y'all lived in Florida..

HaHaHa naw, just out of necessity ~

Ionized water is where it is at- expensive, but there is nothing like it.

You guys RRR funny!- hahaha

Happy Father's Day !

💧😂

The way I know I am getting older is when injuries take longer to heal. I fell really had back in February and sprained my ankle and I still occasionally get pain in that ankle. Back in my 20s that would have healed so quickly! I live Hibachi but on the sit down restaurant, I refuse to do Hibachi Xpress anymore. Pineapples are amazing and eggs are disgusting. Darion I am with you in the potato thing. The way Bubba felt about shrimp is how I feel about potatoes. I have found myself eating nothing but a baked potato for dinner so many nights just because I love it so much. Naw wasabi in the mouth is wild. I’ve never done it and won’t. For my graduation dinner I went to a Hibachi restaurant in New Hampshire and ol dude squirted liquid on everything and it got in my eye and I was pissed. I don’t mess with that.

🤣

James Arthur - Back from the Edge!!!!!

Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!

My hero- foo fighters

For sure Little Death by Lupe Fiasco!

The belief that women overreact or are overly dramatic is the reason the maternal mortality rates are insanely high, it’s the reason why I was sent home from the hospital while I was in full blown labor, and gave birth at home on a living room floor. Had a doctor look me in the eye and accuse me of faking my contractions just to go home and have a baby hrs later. Needless to say, this is incredibly dangerous when it comes to the health and safety of my baby, and I. I had a gender reveal for my last kid, and it’s definitely wasn’t for attention. We didn’t even post it. We had two daughters and were hopeful this would be our son. We also had a lot of family members who were invested as well, so we had a small get together. As a result, my daughter has a beautiful painting in her room from when we popped a balloon with beautiful messages written to her from all of her loved ones.

Not only was I personally attacked because I enjoy a nice shopping vlog, but Darion also asked me how much is in my bank account and for my address, all in one episode 😂

Savon you are absolutely correct. Women and especially black women have terrible healthcare. We are rarely taken seriously and this is facts and have always been a thing. I rarely go to the doctor because of it. I will say that I have had better luck with nurse practitioners instead of doctors. This is why we have to advocate for ourselves and essentially force providers into giving you the next step if results come back normal. I don’t really care for gender reveals, I didn’t do it with my son. Although I don’t care for them, I don’t judge people who do it.

Having less than $1000 in my checking account makes me uncomfortable. I'm frequently uncomfortable. Setting up a camera to walk in on is super cringe, so it hurts to admit that sometimes it makes for a great shot. I want to try to accept and appreciate NPCs more by adjusting the figurative lens that I view them through. NPCs are a programmed component of the ultimate RPG, the Game of Life, providing the goods and mundane services that playable characters need to enjoy the game, and allowing us to focus on the quests that we embark on. The pyramids were built by aliens with technology that is unknown to us. The plot twist is that we're the aliens. We just lost the knowledge.

One of yall have to do a shopping video now haha

Bro been saying that for years now bullying needs to come back lol
